Some Philosophical questions

Claire Taylor - Tuesday, February 23, 2010

In business, it's often important to consider some deep questions about where you're going and what you're trying to achieve. But that can get tiring from time to time, so it's nice to think about some fun topics instead.

For example, I routinely like to consider which came first, the chicken or the egg? I come up with a different answer every time, but the important thing is the reasoning behind it. Playing this with children is fun because it teaches them to come up with logic and reasoning rather than just guess.

Another one is the age old "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it fall, does it really make a sound?" I think this one is just as bad as Schroedinger's cat, and just as loopy. But again, it's fun to consider it, isn't it?

Magpies hold the aces - Redknapp
new ctr360
Tottenham's dreadful form sunk to a new low this weekend when they suffered yet another defeat, 1-0 at the hands of 10-man QPR. Newcastle, meanwhile, strolled to their sixth straight Barclays Premier League win against Stoke to move three points clear of Tottenham, who now find themselves out of the top four for the first time since November.
"I don't think there is any pressure on Newcastle," the Tottenham manager said. "What (manager) Alan (Pardew) has done there is fantastic, it's a miracle really. To get them in the position they're in has been a great achievement."

Harry Redknapp admits Newcastle can play without any pressure until the end of the season after watching the Magpies seize the initiative in the hunt for Champions League qualification on Saturday.

Evra hits out at England approach
crampons f50
The draw means both teams are still on course to make it through the knockout stages of the tournament, with England travelling to Kiev to take on Sweden, who lost to Ukraine last night, for their next group game on Friday while Laurent Blanc’s men go up against the co-hosts in Donetsk.
England were forced to defend deep in their own half for much of the second half in particular as Les Blues searched for a match winner, and Evra admitted he was frustrated at not seeing his side’s dominance converted into three points.
Patrice Evra believes France did more than enough to secure all three points against England in their Euro 2012 clash last night, accusing the Three Lions of being overly negative and replicating Chelsea’s backs-to-the-wall Champions League approach.
“We are frustrated because we played much better. At times it was like there were 15 bodies on us.

Hertha Berlin Sign Andreas Ottl and ThomasKraft
lebron galaxy 9
Hertha Berlin have announced the signing of two former Bayern Munich players: midfielder Andreas Ottl and goalkeeper Thomas Kraft.
Berlin are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of their return to the Bundesliga next season. They were the champions of the 2.Bundesliga this season with a total of 74 points --- 9 higher than second place Augsburg. Berlin were quite impressive in the second division after their disappointing 2009-2010 Bundesliga campaign where they finished 18th and were relegated. They scored the most goals and conceded the second least amount this past season.
It will be interesting to see what other moves Hertha Berlin have in store for this summer in preparation for their return to the Bundesliga.
Ottl has spent the last 15 years with Bayern Munich. His career has taken him from the youth squads, to the reserve team, to the first team. He's been involved in the UEFA Champions League, and he's won three German Championships and three DFB-Pokal Championships with the club.

Mancini promises more to come from Tevez
new cr7
After six months out following his major fall-out with Mancini and the City hierarchy, Tevez came off the bench on Wednesday night to inspire a 2-1 comeback triumph over Chelsea. He was involved in the early stages of the attack that brought the hosts level thanks to Sergio Aguero's penalty and played the pass for Samir Nasri to net the winner.
"Carlos is not 100% but that is normal," said Mancini. "But he knows the football. That was important because he did an incredible assist for Samir."

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini believes it will be another 10 days before Carlos Tevez is back to his best.

Espanyol notch first win in six
Mercurial Vapor IX
The hosts had the better of the opening period but fell behind seven minutes into the second half when Mikel Aranburu waltzed through the Villarreal box and finished from an angle.
Granada had enjoyed a good run of form in recent weeks which included victories over Real Zaragoza, Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla, but that ended against Getafe, who climbed out of the relegation zone as a result of the win.

Joan Verdu scored twice in the opening seven minutes as Espanyol ended their five-game winless run in the La Liga with a 4-2 home win over Atletico Madrid.

Oriol Romeu says goals are the only thing missing from Chelsea's performances

"The counter-attack is a good point to kill the opponents and I think we can do it a bit quicker," he said.
"So, that's a positive thing and the only thing is that, if we score, we can win. We are defending well and now we have to think of attack and scoring more goals, for sure."
"The only thing you want is to play, no matter how many minutes you are on the pitch."
The 21-year-old admitted he needed to help Chelsea counter-attack more quickly if they were to create more chances.
